This place was delicious. The service was amazing and the ambiance great for a date night, business meet up, or a girls night which is what we did. Our server was overly patient and able to explain the menu items in detail and vased on what each of us like. We will be back!

At ChopnBlok, the golden hues of flavor met the warmth of West African culture, and my taste buds danced like they were at a highlife party. The food? A triumph. The Suya skewers stole my heart with their smoky, spicy allure, while the jollof rice balanced smokiness with the sweet embrace of plantains. Each dish was plated like edible art—almost too pretty to eat, but too delicious not to. The ambience? Mid-century modern meets cozy chic. Afro-beats hummed through the air, carrying the rhythm of West Africa right to the patio, a space cleverly designed for those who like their meals with a side of fresh air. The service? Impeccable. Refills came like clockwork, and the staff had a menu mastery that was as comforting as it was impressive. They were kind, personable, and attentive without hovering—a true balancing act. And the value? Oh, it was all about the food. Worth every penny and then some. If you’re seeking a feast for your senses—sight, taste, and sound—ChopnBlok hits all the right notes. Just don’t be surprised if you leave craving more.

Food was delicious. Service was friendly but the set up is a little hard to understand I think the staff was a bit short. It’s fast casual but you still order once you’ve been seated. Great food, cool staff and good drinks.
